Disney Springs has always evolved, but this summer’s changes aren’t your average updates.

New at Disney Springs

The arrival of Level99 and Six Ravens points toward a future built around new experiences. At the same time, transportation procedures are becoming more restrictive, offerings such as the Disney Springs food trucks have disappeared, and new entertainment continues the legacy of this modern destination.

From what guests can expect to what’s already gone, here’s how Disney Springs is entering its next era.

New attraction: Level99

Level99 opened on June 29 and represents one of the most ambitious additions to Disney Springs in years. The interactive venue blends physical challenges, puzzles, and competitive games in a way that feels closer to a modern attraction than a traditional entertainment offering.

Attractions Magazine previously reported that the Disney Springs location will be Level99’s largest venue to date, featuring 63 challenge rooms, player-versus-player duels, original artwork, and a two-story dining space.

New dining

From Coffyns to citrus popcorn, Disney Springs is expanding its snack scene.

Six Ravens

Disney Springs is also introducing several new food offerings this summer. Six Ravens, the upcoming concept from the team behind Gideon’s Bakehouse, will specialize in grab-and-go Coffyns, house-made yeast rolls stuffed with savory fillings inspired by Medieval European pastry traditions. The menu includes smashed potatoes served with dipping sauces and local beers developed in partnership with Orlando favorites Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig.

No official opening date has been announced, but all communication has slated Six Ravens to open this summer.

Goofy’s Candy Company popcorn

Goofy’s Candy Company has debuted a create-your-own popcorn experience, allowing guests to choose from caramel, buttered, and Disney Springs-exclusive orange citrus popcorn before adding drizzles and candy mix-ins. You can find this sweet shop in the Marketplace section of Disney Springs near Rainforest Cafe.

Soft opening on July 16, with official opening July 17, 2026.

This enhancement to Goofy Candy Co. follows Main Street Confectionery’s revamp from five years ago, when customizable popcorn was introduced to the Magic Kingdom.

Elsewhere at Disney Springs, as of June 23, 2026, Morimoto Asia has opened the new Kakigori Kool cart, serving Japanese-style shaved ice topped with fruity syrups and additions such as fresh pineapple and strawberry popping boba. It is located just outside of the restaurant and is the only shaved ice cart at Disney Springs.

And Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is in a temporary location near Morimoto Asia and Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant, while the original Marketplace location is under refurbishment.

Some familiar offerings are disappearing

Not every change involves something new.

The Disney Springs food trucks, once a staple near the West Side featuring rotating concepts and quick-service options, have exited the district. Their departure marks the end of another chapter as Disney Springs reallocates space for other experiences.

Meanwhile, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop is preparing for a major renovation beginning in 2027, temporarily relocating operations to the former Sprinkles cupcake shop (then Crazyshake briefly) later this summer.

New rules for getting around

Anyone visiting Disney Springs should also be aware of new transportation verification procedures which began June 28.

Those boarding Disney Resort buses or the Sassagoula River Cruise from Disney Springs will be asked to provide proof of a resort stay or a qualifying dining or experience reservation at their destination resort.

The next era of Disney Springs is taking shape through a combination of new experiences, updated operations, and changing traditions.
